Our Mission is to provide dynamic health care services that improve movement and function, relieve pain, and enhance health and wellness for those of the greater Santa Barbara area. We help our clients regain and maintain an active lifestyle.

In June, 2004 HPC moved to our current location at the corner of Calle Real and Pueblo, just two blocks from Cottage Hospital in the heart of Santa Barbara’s “medical district.” Our beautiful, expansive 5,500 square foot facility was designed from day one with patient comfort and privacy in mind. It features a relaxing, airy patient waiting room, 10 private treatment areas and the best exercise and rehabilitation equipment available today. The high ceilings and frosted-glass windows of our main treatment gym offer a very spacious, pleasant environment for exercise and rehabilitation.

“I am in a truly rewarding occupation where I am able to work with a team of rehab professionals to assist people affected by disability. Rehabilitation empowers them to gain independence and reach their physical and personal goals.”
